Thank you for your answer.
You did not freak me out as I fully agree with you. Perhaps I did not express myself properly but I did not suggest humanity caused climate change, or that we have caused the pandemic for example. The problem is how we react to these problems.
As you wrote we have no free choice either individually, or as humanity together. We are in a cosmic program that unfolds taking us with it without our consent. Our free choice is about learning, understanding the program, and working out our best response and later even our preceding, conscious adaptation to the next steps before they happen.
The climate change and the pandemic — together with other such adverse events — are simply tests, part so four education process helping us to shift from a blind, instinctive particip[nation, waiting for blows and intolerable suffering to change us to changing ourselves consciously, proactively one step ahead of the blows.
Our conscious turning towards “higher forces”, to Nature's singular, all-encompassing force-field and its evolutionary plan is not simply to get comfort and to survive.
By our conscious participation, we can acquire such an intimate knowledge of the system, that in that “small step” preceding the next developmental state before it came, adapting our “desire” to the “desire” of the system we will tangibly feel as if we controlled the system and Nature acted according to our will. Of course, we will do exactly what Nature wants us to do, but still, we make the step consciously, willingly before the system forces us. This is the greatest possible freedom in reality, placing the whole system realistically in our hands — although everything still unfolds according to the original plan without any changes.
But from our point of view, it changes everything.
There is another important part in it: we cannot adapt ourselves to the system individually as individually we can’t achieve the necessary equivalence, adaptation to the system. To reveal, understand integral nature we need an integral observer — a certain number of people who integrate among themselves as Nature’s ecosystems or the cells of our own body. Then these people can create a unique collective mind, perception that is capable of researching and understanding the system “from within” allowing them to go through the above process.
And this is why this process is so difficult since this is completely against our inherently egocentric, subjective, individualistic nature. This is why we need a unique, purposeful, and highly practical scientific method to achieve all the above.
(By the way, the Pickard crew is also my favorite in Star Trek, I do not remember the “Inner Light” episode, I liked Pickard’s discussions with Q.)
